They all end up with a priority. That's not the same as a pin. A pin forces a non-default priority, either on a whole repository or on packages with a specific name. >My questions are: > >1. How is done? Your default-release (in apt.conf) is given a priority of 990. Most other repositories are given a priority of 500. Currently installed packages are given a priority of 100. Repositories where the Release file include "Automatic=No" (or smth like that), like backports and experimental are given a priority of 1. >2. How I can find out the repos names that I can use inf the prefernces >file - this being the reason why I did not set it all there. I use the fields shown by (apt-cache policy) for each repository for my pinning. These values ultimately come from the Release file. You'll have a local copy in /var/lib/apt/lists. This local copy is fetched / updated each time you run aptitude update (or similar). -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
